Bear Baiting - Is it cruelty?

South Carolina is the only state where it's legal. It's seem cruel to me. It wouldn't be problematic if the bear wasn't tethered and missing its teeth and claws.

And apparently it's popular in Pakistan.

Discuss.

Fucked up. At least in europe, they gave their bulls a fair chance to take out their opponent. Hearing a bull win in bullfights are no surprises, and when they do win, they are never to be thrown in the pit again.

Except for in ancient Hebrew dominion, used in this context, meant responsibility for not control of. But it is kind of funny how you run around calling for the abolishment of religion and then turn around and use religion to support your position on animal cruelty.
